Pink Happiness - Grilled Blood Orange Juice Slush

Posted on February 24, 2015

Pink Happiness - Grilled Blood Orange Juice Slush, an adult drink (that can be made with kids in mind too). It brings to mind warm tropical days on the beach, and fills you with a sense of well being. But that could've been the rum. Either way, beat back the blahs, winter or otherwise, with this light and tropical drink. Don't forget the little umbrellas! (Like I did)

And Creamy Garlic Queso

Posted on February 24, 2015

Thai Chili Guacamole And Creamy Garlic Queso are essential to a good plate of nachos. Let me tell you, sure my first Guacamole recipe was pretty darn good, but this one? This one is THE one. You won't just have people devouring it, you will have them battling with nacho chips being used as swords. And the Queso? I thought the Buffalo Chicken Queso was good, but this... well let's just say that a dish for 6 was being licked clean by 3 and a half people within 45 minutes.

With Sausage And Sour Cream

Posted on February 24, 2015

I'm sick of the deep freeze. We're still here living in negative 25 to 45° weather, waiting patiently for the sun to come out and melt the snow. It's gotten to the point where it's a warm day if it's only -10°C (14°F)! So I needed a siesta from the wretched cold. I decided to have a little fiesta instead. We made Planked Chilli Nachos With Sausage And Sour Cream, some crunchy tortilla chips topped with mountains of cheese, fresh peppers, grilled spicy sausage, loads of my Ghost Pepper Chilli, and topped off with a crown of sour cream. I also served it with some fresh Thai Chili Guacamole, Super Creamy Garlic Queso Dip, annnd a fantastic grilled blood orange drink that I called Pink Happiness.

Over Egg Noodles

Posted on February 17, 2015

Creamy Garlic Chicken is grilled chicken with mushrooms and onions on a bed of egg noodles and drowning in a sauce that is creamy and garlicky. The Baron doesn't like mushrooms very much, but I made this delight and he gobbled it up with gusto.

Fantastic Korean Fusion

Posted on February 17, 2015

Korean Style Grilled Pork Shoulder Steak, marinated in garlic, mirin, and chilies, then seared and slow roasted, served with rice and stir fried veggies, this meal is Korean Fusion at its best. The outside of the pork is spicy, but the inside is tender and porky. I guess, it should be porky, because if it were like chicken-y we would be worried. What I mean is that the outside is caramelized with the garlic and rice wine marinade, while inside the pork is perfectly cooked to absolute tenderness. I should stop typing now. Just make it and try it and enjoy this dish would you?
